    Codesterz got a reaction from Marcus in 22 million women played otome dating apps in 2014   
    Are they certain about the woman part? Guys can play otomes as well. I feel like whoever wrote the article assumed if you are playing an otome game you are a female.

    My reasoning is very simple. Getting attached to a character takes 'time'

    Codesterz got a reaction from xelloss in What nukige would you most like to see translated   
    I would buy a nukige title over an all age VN any day of the week. In fact I wouldn't buy an all age VN well... ever, no matter how good the story supposedly is.

    Codesterz got a reaction from XReaper in CEO of Chuable Soft will attend AX!   
    I would read that VN if it got translated(18+ version). I feel a partnership is a bit much for a single release. From my perspective there has been a decline, but I know there are many who don't mind or prefer all ages. Just in my opinion everything since the Majikoi series is a no go for me.

    I hope they ignore Minatosoft. All off their good VNs have already been translated and I'm not interested in reading them again. Not to mention everything they seem to do now is all ages garbage. A partnership I hope never happens.

    I lasted maybe 2 hours before dropping this VN. Uninteresting MC and heroines I just wanted to shoot. God I hate tsunderes.

    Codesterz got a reaction from アズレ in Tokyo Necro Translation Project   
    Imma be the realist here. Jast won't be localizing this game any century soon so I'd just ignore everyone's words of warning. When they have paid the licensing fees and have shown you the legal documents(s?) then you may want to think about selling them your translations. Until that century comes by I wish you the best of luck. I'm looking forward to reading this one and hope you manage to complete it.

    Codesterz got a reaction from Kawasumi in Anime Boston and Sakura-Con Speculation and Announcements thread   
    I love how Raymond asks us to prove AO can be more profitable while releasing AO versions of their VNs several months after the AA versions. Sounds hypocrtical to me. Release them on the same damn day and let's find out who win. We are not counting Nekopara. No offense to fans of the series but I don't even consider it to be a visual novel. If a VN is less than 10 hours long I personally don't even consider it to be a visual novel. At best it's a visual short story. Release Grisaia no Meikyuu AA and AO versions on the same day. Have there be no patch to add AO content to the AA version so people have to choose to buy 1 or the other. Advertise them equally and don't try to hide the existence of the AO version. Do this and we'll see which one turns out to be more profitable.
    Raymond also mentions they have some AO only titles in the wings but VNDB doesn't show any of them. Anyone know what they are? Are they real Visual Novels(not over 5 years old), crappy low budget Nukiges, Visual Short Stories, or even worse OELVNs?

    Codesterz got a reaction from Erogamer in Mangagamer 2016 Licensing Survey   
    Kind of a disappointing list IMO. Only 2 VNs that interest me White Album 2 and Aiyoku no Eustia. Why are so many of the requests things that have been already translated I want new stuff not things I have already read before or things that are so old I just have no interest. This could be a disappointing year for official english VN releases. Oh wait it always is. How about some VNs made in the last few years with HD graphics and preferably have no gameplay(just read and make choices).

    Codesterz reacted to VirginSmasher in VNs: Guilty pleasures   
    I don't feel guilty about any of my pleasures. In fact, I parade them instead of hiding them. What's the point of feeling guilty over them? They're what you like and if people make you feel guilt over liking them, tell them to fuck off.

    Codesterz got a reaction from Kawasumi in YouTube Gameplays   
    It varies based on the VN. Such as Grisaia no Kajitsu you can only play so far into it. Which is unfortunate because I was enjoying Lost Pauses reactions for it. Princess Evangile seems to be alright, but considering the VN is average at best I'm not really interested in watching a lets play/reaction video for it.

    Codesterz got a reaction from Maxel in Sekai Project to host a panel at AOD San Francisco tomorrow, may announce Aokana license   
    Well this is some horrible news. Hurray for Sekai and its bullsh*t all ages crap. I thought I would be getting to read a VN without machine translations soon and now that is out the door. We all know only the all age version will be available in October. The 18+ version if it comes out at all will be released 6 months later at least. Really guys. You couldn't try to pair up with a good localization company like MangaGamer. Sorry for sounding like a self entitled ahole, but this news has definitely angered me a bit. My anger will pass with some time though.

    Codesterz got a reaction from Nightmare799 in EroGame Industry declined by 6.4% to 19.1 billion yen, reported by YanoResearch   
    This doesn't surprise me at all. The VN industry has become dominated by generic moege VNs. If you look at the top selling manga of 2015 in Japan http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2015-05-31/top-selling-manga-in-japan-by-series-2015/.88770 you'll notice something. There are VERY FEW moe type mangas in it. I'm sure even in Japan many are getting sick of the typical school setting harems. They need to try create more original and interesting settings and stories. You'll also notice many of the series in the top selling mangas are shounens which feature lots of action and characters that get stronger throughout the series. There aren't too many VNs that do this. If the VN industry doesn't stop making copy paste moege VNs they will slowly die out. They need a more balanced cast of characters. Not 1 or 2 male characters and a million female characters.
